I&#8217;ll probably be followed for another 5 years, at least (possibly for the rest of my life) but at the moment my only problem is the amount of liquids I&#8217;m supposed to be drinking to flush the contrast dye out of my system. Not to mention the inevitable side effects of drinking some 5 liters yesterday, with a 3 liter goal for today.</p>
<p>Aside from a cold head (I&#8217;m still nearly bald) and continued loss of balance, I&#8217;m feeling fine. Should get back to the final editing of the trilogy soon.</p>
